Talarico Having Success in Fundraising and Polling Better

[MSN] State Representative James Talarico has shattered fundraising records in Texas's 2026 Senate race, hauling in $30 million in just three month; more than triple Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's $9 million; while the contest remains effectively tied in polling and tilted slightly Republican in prediction markets.
---------------

Talarico is outpacing Beto's 2018 fundraising.

Beto lost, like every Democrat in a state-wide race in Texas since 1994. What proportion of the Talarico donations came from out-of-state donors?

1 He's been running the same ad during Jeopardy and Wheel for weeks. All the good stuff the (R) legislature has done is all thanks to Talrico, And, BTW, OramgeMadBad.

2 A portion of the Dem apparatus is a structure of operatives that cascade cash down through multiple levels especially in city districts or precincts. They call it “Get Out the Vote.” I suspect there is a good amount of different corruptions in the system. If the system is not adequately lubricated with cash every election, the structure goes away. I don’t think Talarico is a viable candidate, but I expect the system will flow funds out through its arteries to its capillaries like he can win. It’s pretend. I think that’s what we saw with Beto. He wasn’t viable, but the system needed to simulate as if he might win in order for it to continue to exist. They swapped out Beto because the game if pretend was too obvious.

3 latest report is that about 40% of Talarico's funds come from out of state
